What ServersCheck is asking Googles is to stop suggesting that people search for Serverscheck crack, when they were possibly trying to just search for ServersCheck.
Now that I've stated teh obvious, this seems a perfectly fair thing to ask, both legally and ethically, even considering free speech, and the fact that the present model is ultimately based on the actual results/user request - which is a really nice way incidentally.
Google Suggest, even if GOOG would probably want to potray it as more of a user trend analysis tool, seems to be on shaky ground, as it seems intuitive to think of it more of a guidance system based on the value it actually provides.
...They programmed in kilometers!...You mean Launch was supposed to be in IST?...standard a/c input is 220 V?...Space Shuttle Console is an ASCII game, and navigations were in PSLVconHE?
I think the most important thing is the falling prices/increasing adoption of plasma/lcd tvs and increasing focus on home theatre systems.
Anyone who has a 42" screen in his house and is stuck watching SDtv and DVDs, will probably be sold on HiDef pretty quick. And this anyone statistic is going up pretty fast, coz unlike HDTV the acronym, a plasma tv on a display window is an attractive device to anyone.
Obviously i'm saying this in support of HiDef rather thatn HDTV specifically. So anyone who buys this before the HD-BD DVd wars are over and devices with full specs implemented and some decent features to boot are imtroduced, probably has more money than brains, or simply lots of money, or simply lots less of..
Lets say my company requires a customer relationship managememtn software. Among my options would be to buy a pre-deveoped, customizable software SoftwareA for whatever amount of money.
Now the problem is I'll have to set it up, set the whole damn environment up. Servers, backups, networks, databases, user accounts, etc etc. Now i miht be able to get the guys who sell me this to set it up initially at probably a huge amount of money. Then ill have to get them to train my IT guys, who'll probably need documentation and baic training programmes, and some kind of structure ot account for employee rolloffs and new recruits etc etc..So thats a huge IT maintenance budget, with a whole lot of maintenance and training overhead.
So instead the guys who make SoftwareA says, you pay us rent, we have this SaaS version of SoftwareA. You and your team can access everything using browser over the internet. We take care of installation 9its htis side, you wont even know it) and support. Here's our site, here are your login IDs, Here's our support number. Usr access policy sould be through a easy to use GUI, or in complicated cases through a authenticated request from authorised users to support. We have guys who's expert at htis sotware and were here 24/7 coz we have lots of customer who need the same thing. Our overhead is shared, and we have a lot of advatage in terms of training and maintenance.
All you need is a reliable net connection. besides your travelling employees could access it anywhere.
Ofcourse net connection gone = boom. and its a big risk for critical software. But reliabilty of the net is increasing and this will be critical, reliabilty of the SaaS companies would hopefully improve. if you can have redundancy (dialup to their data center? local backup systems would prboably defeat the purpose:-s)
I think if the issue has to have any merit, it will be based on proving google's dominance to such an extent as to be monopolistic and that barring a site from google bars it from the net effectively - which with yahoo around won't be easy.
perhaps if the site was barred for political,racial or anythign that deals with the idea of the content rather than, as it seems, the quality of it, perhaps there might have been a suit.
I think google can walk with this one simply stating they are trying to eliminate crap sites so as to user experience better. Besides lowering page ranks is not exactly eliminating free speech, rather eliminating google's approximation of the page's value. Plus the fact that they are seeking economic gain from free speech probably weakens their case a whole lot. So the whole free speech arguemtn is non existent, thoguht itl be intersting to see if it comes up in some other issue.
Anyway, google can potray itslef as giving free consultancy to the users. The sites are not their clients and they do not owe anything to them.
This is the time when the business-minded and trechnically competent among us should make a kick ass anti-spyware, distribute it free , well may be with that optional google toolbar, may be even label IE as a security risk and recommend removal, and so on...grab the market.
ok it sounded much easier in my head. anyway to continue.
wait for vista. prove that MS new OS breaks the app, and gives a new alternative bundled. (if the app is any good, MS will probably be kind enough to make a good enough case for that - the breaking the app part)
I'm guessing the good researchers figured if they publicly took the credit AND released the code, they'll be in the crosshairs of (MS||HomelandSec:-s||Feds||++) in a minute. If its not already illegal (isnt it?) , it'll probably soon be. So they figure they wont release the code. They say, hey its possible. They say, hey this is the exact result. They say, hey this is how we've been going abt it these past few months. They say, sorry folks, y'know we'd love to spread the good hack around, but y'know piracy's piracy, and we dont want to get in range of the long arm of the law.
With Googles's library initiative, the leaks on GDrive, the A9 search, Google vs Amazon is starting to look like an epic fight ( googol vs amazon - does sound like a corny clash of the titans). Can't be much longer before MS and Amazon partners unless Amazon is too (rightly) suspicious of MS's long term plans..
Good for us though, Google and Amazon seem to take different approaches to most things, and ultimately that will provide variety, and good innovative competition (unlike MS).
As an aside, the fact that theres additional charges per gb transferred as mentioned earlier in the discussion will have a major impact, on its business, impact and utility. Ofcourse it would eliminate abuse, if you can call maximally utilising a paid service abuse. Like the latest netflix saga.

Live.com might fail, but that statement might turn out to be truer than MSoft will ever care to admit.
objectively thinking ofcourse, there's almost zero chance of live.com not being atleast moderately successful, even with all the news of Google acquiring Writey etc etc
But is this really sustainable in the long run? That seems to be a lot of money.
I guess its a stupid question - seems to be a win-win situation at the outset - though google paying firefox seems more "dont be evil" driven than bottom-line minded. I mean even if they didn't pay, what were the chances that it wasn't going to be google up there?

looks like it could work, esp in SMEs...
Going by google's general productline, gTunes[:-s] could be a server centric music player - only problem is that'l fall flat on its face.
Still if it does come out, I expect Google to fit it in with its 'organise the world's information' line.
Perhaps just using their search algorithm to find the music you want to buy is enough.. perhaps...
Hmm. i always thouhgt the fundamental question was : Shoud you have to trust Diebold?
somehow I doubt that the issue will be resolved before Congressional Balls are savaged from the lobby brigade's garbage bins.
This is a question of broken laws and exploitation of outdated models. Not intepretation.
I think if the issue has to have any merit, it will be based on proving google's dominance to such an extent as to be monopolistic and that barring a site from google bars it from the net effectively - which with yahoo around won't be easy.

a wm5 dell axim when theres a discount on with The Core Media player could do.
plus its a pda with wifi as well....
ofcourse its hardly cool, but still.

"stated that using Bittorrent to download copyrighted material is theft" isn't it?
oh something like... http://www.palm.com/us/products/mobilemanagers/lif edrive/ ?
So who has surround music anyway? Most original music sources are stereo too.
Movies ofcourse is a different matter, but then MP3 isnt very relevent there anyway.
